Or they will have Sabine (or some other brand) feedback eliminators in the mic chain, which will let them get a significant amount of additional gain without sustained feedback. (You or I may occasionally hear the slight beginning of a resonance ... which I suspect most people wouldn't notice).

Hi Allan.

Did you mean to say "Jim Jannard"?

Or is there some news that I'm missing?

Re: How not to use a microphone (or, alternate mic use)
 

Good catch David. I should have said JJ ... which makes my comments NG, not good.

Cheers.

Feedback suppressors are simply awful devices - last ditch things. The issue is that a gentle ring is not enough to trigger the filters, so you need a proper squeal or honk for them to wake up, notice, find it and notch it. Good in auto mode for unattended operation but you inevitably end up with dreadful sound quality because they keep sucking big lumps of your audio out! Nobody has invented an auto mixer or feedback reducer that works anywhere as well as a human...... yet.
